Bella is a 4-year-old Cavalier whose former family put her needs first, knowing she needed more attention than she was getting when circumstances changed in their home. She is ready for her forever home now – is your family the right fit for her?  

Bella has separation anxiety and would whine for long periods of time when left alone in her previous home. She will also scratch at the doors. She needs a home where someone is home most of the time and has time to shower her with love.

Bella barked to go outside when necessary at her previous home, and she learned quickly to go outside using a dog door at her foster home and she enjoys having a yard. Bella enjoys meandering about the yard but usually only when her person and/or another dog is outside with her. 

Bella is a beautiful girl with a matching personality. She loves to give hugs and will try to smother her human with love. She also loves to give kisses (ok, maybe a full-face bath). Bella has settled into her foster home well. She loves a lap and blanket to lay on. She will snooze on your lap and let you pet her for hours. Bella walks well on a leash and she loves to meet other pets in the neighborhood. She does not like to be left and will try to bolt out the door when humans leave. She is very fast, so caution is needed to ensure her safety.

She loves car rides and likes to see the world outside the window! Bella plays with the toys in her foster home some, but more than anything, she loves to get another dog running with her and playing when she gets the zoomies. She loves chewing on bones and will occasionally chew on inappropriate things if she is not supervised and doesn’t have a bone available.

Bella was recently spayed and had a dental. Her vaccinations are current until 2025. She was a bit overweight when rescued and is now at her perfect weight of 19 pounds. She needs someone committed to keeping her at the right weight. Bella has always eaten home-cooked food, so she would probably do best in a home where she gets home-cooked or raw food. She is a beggar, so someone will need to be very skilled at saying no and working with her to not beg.

Bella is accustomed to sleeping in the big bed with her human family and cries if not allowed in the bed. Bella has done very well with a companion and would like another dog in her forever home.

Bella is being fostered in Pasadena, MD. If you think your family would meet Bella’s needs, please complete an online application (if you haven’t already done so) and email Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Meet Kobe, a 3-year-old Blenheim boy born 5/4/2021 who found his way to rescue after the death of his owner. Despite the sad circumstances, he has responded well to his foster home and is a sweet and confident boy.

At 13 pounds, Kobe is an amiable and cute boy who has enjoyed the company of another resident pup while in his foster care. He was a bit shy at first, but once he realized that his foster parents were good for ear scratches and belly rubs, he warmed up quickly. He may bark when initially meeting strangers or when out on walks, but he settles quickly.

Kobe is neutered, microchipped, and received updated vaccines while in foster care. He is heart clear and has a slight grade 1 left-side luxating patella, which does not pose any limitations. With continued moderate exercise and keeping him at an ideal weight, he should fare well. Since he’s been in foster care, he enjoys (and expects!) his short walks, and he does well on leash.

Fully housetrained, Kobe is very reliable and does alert his foster parents when he needs to go out by barking or jumping. He would do best in a fenced yard since he likes to explore and given his interest in deer, but also needs to be walked daily. He also loves to play fetch and tug.

Kobe loves to be with his people and will sleep quietly on his dog bed and near his humans at night. Outside of the house, he has met other dogs and cats and done well and would benefit from having another friendly pup or dog-friendly cat in his forever home. He has not interacted with children and would not be suitable in a home with small children.

If you are interested in making Kobe part of your family and are within driving distance of Cinnaminson, NJ please complete an online application and email Rebecca Plimpton at beckplimpton@gmail.com to let her know you would like to adopt Kobe.

If you’re searching for a furry friend who radiates love and affection, look no further than Lady.

Affectionately nicknamed “Pancake” for her adorable pancake-like ears and her charming sploots, this 5-year-old Blenheim Cavalier is the epitome of sweetness. While she might be a little shy at first, especially around men, she quickly warms up and showers you with endless love and devotion.

Originally from a breeder, she was surrendered by her previous owner due to circumstances beyond their control. Lady is an absolute joy to be around. She’s wonderful with people of all ages, including kids, and gets along with other pets. In her current foster home, she coexists well with two other Cavaliers and knows when to respect their space. Though she has not been tested with cats, it is hard to imagine a creature that Lady does not get along with.

Lady is a dog that is just happy to be near you. Though she loves walks and exploring, her favorite place is snoozing next to you and getting belly rubs. She demands a lot of affection and needs a family that will give her that. Lady thrives on cuddles and being close to her humans. She requires a home where she can be the center of attention, though she would also do great with a gentle canine friend.

While she does not regularly bark, Lady has found her voice when it comes to her food preparation (it is never fast enough!) and some separation anxiety. Lady may bark when left alone, but quiets down after a short while. She would thrive in a home where someone is with her most of the time. She is housebroken but will go inside if she is not taken on regular walks. She is also a bit clumsy – she is very hesitant with using stairs but eventually gets the hang of it.

Lady, who is spayed and weighs 20 lbs, has a minor Grade 1 heart murmur, manageable with regular vet visits. She also experiences some itching, possibly due to a chicken allergy, so her foster parent is testing a chicken-free diet. While the vet did not find any airway concerns, Lady tends to snort a lot (like a truffle pig) and overheats fast, so please keep this in mind during hotter months. Regular grooming is essential to keep her coat and fabulous ears in tip-top shape as well. While in foster care, Lady received a dental. She is also microchipped.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion who will make every day brighter, Lady is the perfect match for you!
